CORN BREAD



This is a tried and true recipe that I use for cornbread. I have tried making cornbread in a cake pan, bread pan and any other pan, but it doesn't taste the same. So I always bake my cornbread in a cast iron skillet. And yes I have a favorite, although I have quite a collection of Cast Iron pans, and they all get used.



Cornbread

1 ½ C. yellow cornmeal
½ C. Flour
3 ½ teas. Baking powder
1 teas. Salt
3 Tbls. Sugar
1 egg
1 C. milk
¼ C. Shortening

Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Add egg, milk and shortening. Mixing well with dry ingredients. Pour into greased Iron Skillet. Bake at 425 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
